What the cobbler has finally? (4)

I believe the answer is:

last

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'finally?' is the definition.
('last' can be a synonym of 'finally')

'what the cobbler' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'las' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
